I can definitely relate to what your going through. I have had a lot of tests over the years, and plenty of ER visits. After enough time passes I start to think things like "well yeah that scan/test/mri was normal but that was yesrs ago! What if something has changed?". Thinking that way keeps the cycle going though and when I start feeling that way I try to tell myself how unhelpful that way of thinking is.

I've been worried about different symptoms for years now. When one goes away a new one takes it's place. Health anxiety is such a stressful thing to deal with, because even awareness of it isnt enough to stop the worry.

Being hot can definitely be anxiety, especially if you've had everything else rulled out already. For months last year I had the feeling of intense heat in my chest, sometimes spreading to the abdomen, arms, neck, jaw. It wss evem worse because to others my skin looked and felt normal when to me the heat feeling was almost unbearable. It was terrible! I was sure it had to be caused by something and my doctor ran tons of tests but found nothing. A couple months went by and I got busy and my anxiety got much better. At some point the heat feeling stopped and never came back. Sometimes when I have a panic attack my chest will start to feel very hot but it goes away once I calm down.

If you can, try to take your son to tbe beach. I have a hard time traveling too but I don't want my kids to miss out so I do my best and find ways to make myself comfortable. When I feel nervous driving I either turn up the music and sing with the kids tk keep my mind off my worries, or I call someone to distract myself for a portion of the drive. Once you get where your going try to relax. You'll be in public so if you did need help (you wont!) there will be someone around.

I used to avoid many things for the sake of my own comfort but I got to the point recently where I didn't want to let my anxiety spoil our family time anymore. It's not always easy, but it's possible to have fun.

Hey, that's a pretty clever one: Feelings are not facts. I like that. I'm going to keep it!!

It's so true,....we all wish we could just magically stop having these intrusive thoughts and experiences and just get on with regular ole life.

But for us, this *IS* regular ole life....

You're not alone, and in fact, you're in some gosh dern tootin' company! :)
